AIR HANDLING SYSTEM CONTROL APPLICATIONS

Example, calculate the mixed air temperature of a 10,000 cfm
fan with 25% OA at 5
° F. RA is 75 ° F.
or:
SPECIFICATIONS
The operation of the OA damper shall be two-position. The
OA damper shall open when the fan is on and close when the
fan is off.
PSYCHROMETRIC ASPECTS
The proportions of OA and RA admitted are constant at all
OA temperatures.
In the following chart it is assumed that:
1. One-third OA and two-thirds RA are admitted.
2. RA condition is 78
° F DB and 62.5 ° F WB.
3. OA condition is 40 ° F DB and 35 ° F WB.
4. MAT = (2/3 x 78) + (1/3 x 40) = 65.3
°
F.
Item
No. Function
1 Control system energizes when fan is
turned on.
2 Damper opens on fan startup, closes on fan
shutdown.
FEATURES
1. A fixed quantity of OA is admitted when the fan is
operating.
2. This system is composed of a minimum of ventilation
and control equipment.
CONDITIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
1. The system provides the desired proportions of OA and
RA (a manual RA damper, shown, is usually required).
2. The system is designed so that coils are not subject to
freezing.
LIMITATIONS
The MA temperature varies as a function of OA temperature.
